Stories from Home

"...We were close to giving up searching for a home when we heard about the partnership between Habitat for Humanity and the Centre County Housing and Land Trust. Suddenly, the prospect of owning a home became more than a dream, it became a real possibility.

To our surprise, we were offered a home and jumped at the opportunity. The months leading up to the closing were insightful in showing us how a home is built-literally from the ground up. Staff and volunteers alike all provided encouragement that it really was going to be our home. We are forever thankful for all of the amazing people who made our dream a reality."
